About this word search

Australian English has its own names for several vegetables. Capsicum is what many English speakers elsewhere call a pepper, Zucchini comes from Italian, and Eggplant is used here instead of aubergine. Comparing those names with other countries makes a quick language lesson in itself.

Words in this puzzle never read in reverse, though they can slope as well as run flat or straight down. Cauliflower is the longest and stretches across most of a row. Broccoli is easy to confirm by its double C, while Pea and Leek are short enough to slip past, so save them for a final careful sweep.

Use the list in the school kitchen garden: students can mark which vegetables they grow, which they have eaten and which they still refuse to try.
